Planning a trip to Bangkok, the Land of Smiles? If you’re an Indian citizen, you might be considering a Visa on Arrival (VOA) for your short stay. Here’s what you need to know about the fees involved.
The Visa on Arrival Fee
The current visa on arrival fee for Indians entering Thailand is 2,000 Thai Baht (THB). This fee is subject to change, so it’s always a good idea to double-check the latest information before your trip. You can find updates on official Thai embassy or consulate websites.
Important Points to Remember
- You must pay the fee in Thai Baht only and in cash. Make sure to exchange your currency beforehand to avoid any hassles upon arrival.
- The VOA allows you to stay in Thailand for a maximum of 15 days. If you plan on staying longer, you’ll need to apply for a different type of visa beforehand.
- Always check the validity of your passport. It should be valid for at least one month beyond your intended stay in Thailand.
Alternatives to Visa on Arrival
While the VOA is a convenient option, you might consider other visa types depending on your needs:
- Tourist Visa: This visa offers a longer stay (up to 60 days) and can be obtained in advance from a Thai embassy or consulate in India.
Final Tip
Before finalizing your travel plans, ensure you have all the necessary documents for your chosen visa type. This will help ensure a smooth arrival process in Bangkok.
Happy travels!
